Did Obama Really take the Oath? (president, conspiracy, myth, elect) - City-Data Forum

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but did anyone else catch it? He stumbled during his repeating and taking of the oath. He said the main part backwards too. Even after the officer repeated it back to him a second time, he still said it back wrong. I'm surprised they did not require him to state it correctly. After all, it is more then just a ceremony, it is a declaration of the official Presidential duties. Years ago when I was sworn in as a LE officer, every single specific word had to be stated correctly.

Fox News is already claiming that Obama botched the oath and isn't President. Even if someone challenged his claim and it somehow made it to The Supreme Court, the person who administered the oath, Chief Justice John Roberts, would be there and he's already admitted that he was the one who botched the oath. I'm sure the people who challenged Obama's citizenship will now jump on this cause. Nothing like a sore loser.

Would you like to clarify that?

Roberts botched his part in the oath. Obama paused, waiting for him to correct himself. When He didn't, Obama then recited his part correctly.

You can relax now.

According to the Constitution the president-elect becomes the president at 12:00 Noon on January 20th oath or no oath. He actually became president before the oath was even given. Consider this myth busted.

I also heard that Obama hit the toilet seat this morning when taking a pee. He surely isn't worthy to become President!

Just stop the hating. I know it's been the general atmosphere since about 1993 but why not try something else!

Totally ridiculous. Check your sources for once!

Yes, well, he did say it correctly. Chief Justice Roberts didn't.
